DEEP needle, individual needle, more than 10 mm long, heading from anywhere below 3 / 9 o'clock into the area of felt near the molding, angling towards the point of the molding (not passing above that point). It depends what has been done before, and what kind of hammers they are to begin with, but these should be a good candidate. Try 2 - 4 insertions on each side of the molding, listen. Also feel what is happening - how much resistance to the needle, how stiff it feels in there. If you are getting more of what you want, and if there is plenty of resistance (which I would expect), do more insertions. This procedure can give considerably more focus and power. Not always, but more often than not. Regards, Fred Sturm fssturm at unm.edu http://www.createculture.org/profile/FredSturm -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
